Freenet 0.7.5 build 1485 is now available
-----------------------------------------
theora video-support, faster compression-check, Java 8
This release adds checking for Ogg Theora video files thanks to redwerk:
Freenet can now display video safely.
For files whose size does not shrink a lot by compression, compression
is now skipped. This should speed up inserts of video files. Also
compressors were cleaned up: During upload a test of one deprecated
compressor will now be skipped, if other compressions methods are
requested, too.
Freenet now requires Java 8 as the minimum version. Maintenance of Java
7 has long been stopped, and Java 8 is now available on all target
machines, including Debian stable. If you do not have Java 8 yet, please
update.
Also Freenet captures fetchKeyBoxAboveBookmarks from the theme as default value.
In preparation of directly usable pure friend-to-friend installers,
Freenet will now ask the user whether to connect, if there are *.fref
files in a peers-offers/ folder.
And it fixes a bug that caused some Freenet nodes to loop on startup due
to excessive memory use.
Important sidenote: If you are using a thirdparty IME (Input Method
Editor, used as text input for common asian languages), please disable
it for Freenet and use an IME from your Operating System. There have
been reports of the IME collecting your keystrokes and sending them to
remote servers.
Thank you for using Freenet!
